The Evolution of the Weird Tale

From Publishers Weekly: "In his lively survey, The Evolution of the Weird Tale, S. T. Joshi, renowned critic of the macabre, assesses with his usual pungency a number of Golden Age American and English authors, H. P. Lovecraft and three of his disciples (including Frank Belknap Long), and such contemporary writers as David J. Schow and Poppy Z. Brite."
